#PancakeDay Round-Up – 11 Pancakes for you to relish

Presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail.com. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!).

On the occasion of Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, presenting to you a round up of the 11 pancake recipes on Saffrontrail. These pancakes range from the American style fluffy oatmeal pancakes to the desi chilas and dosas (which, admit it, are also a kind of pancake!). Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of the Lent fasting period. Pancake Day is also called Mardi Gras in some other places (New Orleans, for example) which is French for Fat Tuesday 🙂 So here’s to fattening up with pancakes (or not, as we have quite some healthy options for you here).

Presenting the 11 Pancakes – sweet, savoury, desi, videsi!

Breakfast pancakes

Since my last post, I've been in Pondicherry, Chennai and then Goa. It was a wonderful last week of 2006 and ushering the new year in Goa was some experience. The hustle bustle and the excitement along with the calmness of the sea is something that must be experienced to be understood. The past week

Recipe for Eggless Triple Blueberry Pancakes

When I was a kid, my favourite fruit was Nagpur oranges. When in season, my grandfather would buy them by the dozens and I could just eat them non-stop. While my 6 year old loves oranges, his current favourite fruit is…wait for it…blueberries! Crazy right? I stock up on the frozen variety, so he

Eggless Buckwheat Crepes : Health on a plate

Last Saturday, I looked at my dinner plate and I felt "Damn, it should be illegal to eat this healthy on a Saturday night." Yes it was so good that it was bad. And we were watching a brilliant brilliant series to add all the necessary wickedness and spice to this healthy plate. You may think food bl

Besan Cheela stuffed with Paneer Bhurji

If you are from the South of Vindhyas, cheela / chila is not a much heard of term. It is a staple North Indian breakfast dish. To put it in simple terms, it is like an instant dosa made using besan. However unlike adai, which is a lentil based dosa preparation, cheelas are much thinner and crepe lik

Savoury pancakes with mushrooms and onions

Who doesn't like mildly sweet spongy pancakes all dripping with maple syrup? There weren't many pancake-serving places in Mumbai earlier so my first brunch with a stack o' pancakes was in at the IHOP in Rochester, NY. My favourite being the multigrain pancakes, which had the grainy bits within and a

Savoury multigrain yeast pancakes

These savoury pancakes make for a quick breakfast or dinner. The key ingredient here which isn't usually used in pancakes results in soft fluffy pancakes. And that does away with the need for eggs, milk or baking powder.

4 Lentil Pancake ( Paruppu Adai )

Traditionally Adai (South Indian Lentil Pancake ) is made with a mixture of lentils in a certain proportion. This is my own version. Sometimes, you have a little bit of all dals remaining in your pantry, then this is the best way to clean up all those bottles. You have soak the dals and then grind

Onion Rava Dosai with Spicy Tomato Chutney

Thinking about calories is taboo on weekends, so says me! After a extremely fulfilling Asian dinner** last night at our favourite Lemongrass Cafe – Bandra, we wanted to continue the good food times into Sunday morning. And what better way to let the good times roll than with super crisp dosais! Dosa

  • Last to last week, I placed my first order from @kerehaklu farms - after seeing those farm fresh pomelos, avocados and limes, could not resist getting a taste of them. . The pomelos inspired my next column in Mint Lounge (which you'll read this Saturday), avocados went into fully loaded nachos for dinner last evening, the thin skinned juicy limes have been adding freshness and fragrance to every meal. . I featured all three ingredients in my dinner salad this evening along with peeled strips of carrot, cucumber, green capsicum, pomegranate, topped with toasted seeds and microgreens @livingfood.co . Finished off with some hemp hearts and hemp seed oil from @boheco_life (added just before eating so it's not seen in this pic) . Swipe to see another picture of this bright and beautiful salad 💕💕💕 .

  • As a vegetarian who eats eggs, I have always been conscious of the fact that consuming eggs produced by birds cooped up in battery cages cannot possibly be a humane thing to do. In my search for good quality free range eggs, we have pretty much regular with Farm Made @_farmmade eggs. Their farm in Coimbatore provides plenty of outdoor and indoor spaces for the birds to roam, with access to quality food & water at all times. That’s definitely a feel good factor. The eggs are also free from any antibiotics or growth supplements. I personally love the golden yellow sunshine like yolks. . Here’s one dish I meal prep for my weekday breakfasts. I make a 6 egg frittata, that’s 4 servings of 1.5 eggs each. I save them in an airtight container separated by parchment paper, warm up for 30 seconds in the microwave and eat it with toast or a few greens from my garden. . To make the 6 egg frittata, I saute nearly 3 cups of chopped vegetables like bell peppers, onions, peas, zucchini along with chillies and herbs in olive oil. Once the veggies are a bit soft, I spread it all over the pan in one layer. In a bowl, I break 6 eggs, whisk them with salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cooked veggies in the pan. Cover and let this cook until set, over a low flame. Using a dish to cover the pan, I invert the frittata and slide it in back into the pan to cook the other side for another 5 minutes. You can also put the pan in the oven to cook the frittata if the pan is oven-safe. Cut into 4 pieces and serve or store in the refrigerator. Consume within 3 days. . What is your favourite way to eat eggs? . For more such easy recipes, follow @saffrontrail #saffrontrail . {In collaboration with @_farmmade}
